Is the name on the registration document the same as the name on the nip?

[bite-me]

not sure,

I'll check with the guy

what is the situation if the log book is spelt correctly and the NIP is incorrect spelling

I dont think it is enough to get out of it TBH.

It is recognisable as his name and address, he has opened the envelope, its his car details.

No where near strong enough to contest i wouldnt have thought as it could be written off as a clerical error in court.

Correct. The technical term is 'slip error'. Basically the police or CPS are allowed to make clerical errors without jeopardasing the case.

Unfortunately not... but perhaps I should have called it the slip rule to avoid connotiations with other related and dodgy devices!

exactly the same thing happened to me, got my details wrong on the summons, 2 bib just came round my house and asked me what my correct details where (when I didn't respond), then I got a new one
